Mar 31, 2006 Very dark ruby. Thick, tan, cottage cheese head. Nose of rich malt, dark fruits, lively yeast, caramel, subtle alcohol. Same flavors joined by some roasty, bittersweet chocolate and licorice. Doughy, roasty, dry finish. Full body is a bit heavy on the carbonation. Great brew.

Aug 11, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of bread, a bit of chocolate, nuts, light spicing, plum. Flavor not much to talk about, sweet malt and some chocolate. There was a fair amount of astringency or some odd carbonation that seemed to mask a lot of the flavors in this one for me. Usually enjoy Ommegang’s offerings, and wanted to like this one, but can’t see any way to score it higher than I have.

Jul 14, 2007 Coupled this with the Three Philosophers tonight; dark ruby red with white head; sweet aromas are much more mild w/ more hops than the 3P; much less bite to the flavors as well; mmmm....beer

May 29, 2007 Pours rich brown with amber highlights. Slightly soapy aroma (a hint of phenols). Some candied fruits. Sweet toffee and malt. Spicy too: clove and nutmeg. Lively carbonation. Spicy and dry on the palate. Notes of clove and some dry yeast. Finishes quite dry.

May 28, 2006 Spicey banana aroma, dark amber color,medium head, probaly the smallest I’ve seen on a Belgian,malty slightly tart fruity taste, with some sweet carmel in the middle, and then a dry bitterish finish. Well made ,but pretty far down on my list of Belgian favorites

Jul 9, 2007 Strangely clear amber-mahogany pour. Nose of mulled wine, christmas spices, red apples with cinnamon. A woody bitterness, followed by an odd fruit lipstick taste. Black licorice, plum skin, tannins. Dry texture with a sweet, false aftereffect. Unadventurous and rather a bore.
